Prob. a firemouth, but could be a pale dempsey

It look's like a firemouth / Acara hybrid.

 

[Star_Rider]

looks like a hybrid of some sort.

 

[MySpace Mike]

Looks to me like the False FireMouth Cichlid (Amphilophus robertsoni)

has too many pearls to be a firemouth.. Could be a blue acara. A different picture of this fish would help this thread a lot.

I hate to disagree

but.

It is not a firemouth. It may have some firemouth in it but I am really not too sure about that.

It is from the geophagus family. Right now I am leaning towards Geophagus SP "Tapajos Red Head" but I am at work and don't have my cichlid books in front of me.

Or even one of the micro-geo species.

I will post a more complete response when I have a chance to look tonight at home.

Still I'm pretty sure that it is not a firemouth however.
